JWSH - Jewish Studies Minor

• Core course (required)

  • RELG 109. Jews and Judaism

• Hebrew Language (required or passing a proficiency exam equivalent to first-year Hebrew)

  • HEBR 101. Elementary Modern Hebrew I

  • HEBR 102. Elementary Modern Hebrew II

• Electives (three courses)—Participants in the minor may choose three electives in consultation with the minor coordinator. No more than one of these three can be advanced Hebrew language (intermediate or advanced Modern Hebrew) and count towards the elective requirement. A one-credit internship may be counted as an elective.

• Integration of knowledge—To demonstrate the integration of interdisciplinary work in the Jewish studies minor, students write a paper (after taking at least four courses towards the minor) that integrates the material learned from the several courses. The paper must be 2000-2500 words and is to be submitted to the coordinator no later than eight weeks into a student's last senior semester.

Students majoring in Jewish Studies may not take this minor.

For more information, students should contact the minor coordinator Lecturer Adi Katz.
